Isolde leaves her home and sets off on her own
My son, Faun, had turned 5 years old and was a sturdy, happy little boy. He spent most of his time in the forest, communicating with the creatures and chasing the wood-nymphs. Mother and Grandmother had continued to teach me all that they knew. But it was time for more to explore the world.
Mother and Grandmother bid me goodbye as I gathered my worldly belongings and prepared to leave our humble home. Faun clung to my skirts and I hugged him fiercely. I felt nostalgia for leaving our humble town, but I felt the call of the Wild God inside of me and knew I was to do great Magick in the world. I left at Sunset and headed east. Hermes watched over me as I crossed forests, and the Black Sea. I stopped to refresh myself from sparkling springs as the Water Sprites smiled at me. I ate of the land and slept peacefully in the tall grasses of the mountains. I was filled with purpose.
I arrived at the gates of a sparkling and mighty city. "Who enters?" called the Guard. I answered that I was a Healer and a traveller who was seeking shelter. I was immediately taken to Hecate's temple where I was given sustenance and sparkling wine. Servants of the temple attended to me, bathed me, massaged my tired limbs and fed me exotic fruits and meats. I drifted into a dreamless sleep in the luxuriant silken couches that they led me to.
I awoke to a young woman bending over me, smoothing my hair. Her dark and flowing silky hair cascaded over her bare full breasts and she wore a Diadem of beautiful jewels. "Welcome, my sister," she breathed, "I am Medea, daughter of King Aeetes. Love and Light! Welcome to Colchis."
I could feel raw power and Divinity radiating from her smooth brown countenance. Kindness radiated from her but also strong Sex Magick. I sat upright as she hugged me with love in her heart. She showed me to a fine room within the castle and invited me to a feast that evening. I gratefully accepted and set up my altar.
Servant girls came at dusk to dress me and attend to my long flowing blonde hair. They lovingly exclaimed over my beautiful and fondled my round firm breasts. I heard giggling as they were playful with each other. They took me into a large hall where the King sat on his throne to receive me.
I had never met a King and I was in awe of his Aura. Such a Majestic stance and air was about him and he held his scepter well. He welcomed me at sat me at his own table, with him on the one side and Medea the other. He confided in me that his daughter had been lonely for friends, as she was royalty and needed to be amongst her own. I protested that I was only an ordinary Witch and she was Divine, the granddaugther of Helios, niece of Circe. He smiled and Medea shyly held my hand under the table. I was gladdened by her affection.
